These take just a few hours to knit up. If you don't have any interruptions, it will be even faster. I got a Loopy's Red Sock Kit, from The Loopy Ewe this summer, I used up all the Cherry Tree Hill, and began on a new skein. Then when I took my mom to my LYS and I was just supposed to look (because I still had CTH).... some super yummy alpaca fingering weight yarn in red (with little shiny flecks) and some creamy white jumped right into my grubby little hands... yummmmmmy!!!
I hope Sheri at Loopy Ewe won't mind that I use some artistic liberties with the pattern... ;)
I finished the "Candy Cane" sock, as my DD4 called it, this morning. I put both socks on some dry cleaning hangers, and wet them to block. I am sooooooo happy with these little guys. I happen to love this time of year, I happen to love the color reds and white too.... everything about this little project makes me so happy!!!!!
Love It!!!!!!!
Sadly I have to give these away... not sure if I can do it... I think I will have to knit up some more.... I have the two fresh yarn cakes, can't let good yarn go to waste!
Oh, it looks like a picot edge on the socks, it's not. I did stockinette stitch so that the cuff would roll over on itself. Both of my dear daughters are asking for some little socks, because these are soooo cute!!

I love those! I just can't knit the little socks - the big ones take all my time. If you're giving little ones away, there's a knitter here in California who would love one....
Very cute and very generous to share them.
Isn't artistic license what knitting's all about?
So very cute - especially your "non-picot" edge.
I'm a little behind on things... so sorry about your foot.
Ouch!
Too cute for words!!!! I never knew, when you picked up the yarn, that they would be so adorable. Am I in the list of recipients? I like the striped ones!!!
Those are just too cute for words! I don't think I could give them up either! Love the yarn choice!
I like red and white, too. All year long. The socks are too cute.
So very cute - I have a weakness for pepperminty socks! =)
